ing held tonight as a material wit- j

Birbiglia, calm and almost defiant e
during the day, was nervous and ex- (
cited in his cell at the parish prison v
tonight. "It was the 'prohibition t
whiskey' that did it," he said. Zlen- f
ka agreed with him. t
Smoking* cigarette after cigarette, e
in a manner apparently intended to f
be boastful, Birbiglia today told the E
superintendent of police the story of j.
a murder "for those diamonds." B
"Wanted Those Diamonds.-" v
"I took Bertha to a dance and saw t
those wonderful diamonds", Birbiglia t
told the superintendent, according to t
information given out by the latter. f
"I wanted those diamonds: I don't
know Just why, because I always had y
plenty of spending money, but I want- v
ed them just the same. Well, I told ^
Charles Zelenka about them, and we j,
agreed to take them away from Ber- ^
tha. I met her in front of a depart- h
ment store and we engaged Burns to a
drive us out. Zelenka borrowed a pistol
from a negro, and was to give it
to me when I signalled him. We had
a pop-bottle full of 'prohibition whiskey'
and drank it. It was the whiskey .
that made us carry out the plot. '
"We took in a couple of lake side
resorts, then instructed Burns to drive a
down the Turtle Back road, in the 0
rear of the city park. Bertha put her ?
arm around my neck. I pressed Zelcn-!*
ka's shoulder and he passed me the 1
gun. While she kissed me I fired un-,?
rlor hor Ipft arm T rton't iust iecall!C
how many shots, but I beat her over 1
the head to make sure she was dead.^
Then twisted the rings off her fing-i
ers, and with Zelenka's help dragged ?
the body to the woods and threw it *
in a pool of water."

TIREE OUNCES OF CLOTHING.
Paris, April 25?It is no exaggertion
to say that the majority of soiety
women who attend the Longhamps
races this afternoon probably
vOre fewer clothes than even the anient
Greeks. There were indeed,
irong visible hints of the Garden of
Rlcn. All of which is in obedience to
lie latest edict of Parsian fashion arliiers
which may be summed up as
he "featherweight mandate.
It is estimated the average weight
if' clothes worn by the fashionable
icauties in the grand stand and pad,oek
did not exceed three ounces,
yhich is declared by the Rue De La
Max style kings to be the absolute
imit within which the fair sex should
:eep. One famous fashion judge gave
his compilutiOjj today as "perfectly
uoper.''
PhQtnico nno-nnartpr nf an nunrp
Combination?One ounce.
Stocking?(both)?Half an ounce.
Dress?One ounce and a quarter.
Petticoats are not mentioned beau8e
they haven't been worn in
France since the war.
The three-ounce weight as a maxmum
of stylish women's clothes is
ecommended by those who have the
ay in these things, for the following
eason:
1. The stringent curtailment in
French imports of "de luxe" materals.'
2. The huge corner on dress goods
it the Lyons fair engineered by Amercan
buyers who are paying top prlcts
for everything in sight.
3. The dictum of hygiene experts
hat too many and too heavy clothes
poll woman's complexion and appearmce
by "dragging down her skin"
nid fatiguing her.

BIG DAY AT MARION.
If the people of Dillon could just
>artly realize the significance of the
estival to be staged in Marion on
Wednesday, May 5th, in commemoraion
of the heroic achievements of
Jeneral Francis Marion whose depart,
sd spirit, it has been recently learned
hrough some mysterious source, wm
>e in communication with the happy,
ollicking and carefree crowd on that
lay through the medium of the weird
>uija, it would simply be staggering.
rVhen the Marion Chamber of Comnerce
first outlined this novel, this
itupendous( this spectacular, this gigantic
event of gayety, they had little
:onception of the magnitude and
trandeur it would develop. Somehing
new is popping up every day.
The Chamber of Commerce is overvhelmed
with inquiries about the ap
iroaching event. The towns that have
tot been invited to send queens relent
the fact, but Marion states that
he only reason every town and city
n South Carolina has not been pernitted
this honor is that it would be
iverrun with royalty, and there might
>e a shortage of kings, princes and
.ninnno oniortnin pspnrt and ac
miacuo iv tuiv.iu..., ??
ommodate them. Secretary Daniels
in<j Ex-Ambassador Gerard will probibly
be present and make addresses.
Vrrangements are being made with a
iew to getting the Columbia and
Charleston baseball teams of the
?outh Atlantic League to play during
he afternoon, and this will attract a
nultitude of fans. Darlington it is
umored, will institute aeronautic
>assenger service, which will probably
>e a very wise arrangement, as some
ipprehension is felt that the trains
vill be congested.
a iiimihor of th? numerous atti'ae
ions to be presented have heretofore
>een mentioned, and for this reason,
ogether with the fact that they are
onstantlv multiplying:, would make
orther mention of them impractica>le.
So everybody had better come to
darion and see for themselves.
